With six Zen 3 cores, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 has a decent amount of CPU power for a very cheap price, but it also has limited L3 cache.

If you’re looking to build a gaming PC for the cheapest price possible, then you need to see this current Prime Day deal. Right now, you can grab yourself a six-core AMD Ryzen 5 CPU for just $61. Not only that, but you won’t even need to buy a cooler for it, as you get one in the box. That’s outstanding value, as long as you don’t mind not having the latest tech. The CPU in question is an AMD Ryzen 5 5500, a cut-down CPU based on the ageing Zen 3 architecture, and it originally launched at a price of $159 in 2022. There are a few points to note before you take the plunge, though. The first is that the Ryzen 5 5500 is an AMD Cezanne chip, rather than a Vermeer CPU, such as the Ryzen 5 5600X. It still has six Zen 3 cores, but it only has 16MB of L3 cache, rather than the 32MB you get on the 5600X. It’s not going to take the top spot on our best gaming CPU guide any time soon, but that hardly matters when it costs just $61.
